Satan in the Smoke

[karen israel]

I totally agree with Spencer...I know Muslims and terrorism is not part of the Koran. These maniacs have twisted words to fit their needs, and made the entire religion look bad. Muslims are peaceful, and promote helping others, but of course will defend their family, don't we all? They condemn suicide. This is coming from a Jew who has the utmost respect for all religions and nationalities and creeds. What a shame people are sterotyped (I'm poor.. LOL! )We should also pray that there are no more injuries or deaths of those who "look" Muslim or different. It's ugly and belittling to America.

Pam, I'm glad you posted this. I looked at it for several days, over and over. I know we don't "know" what Satan looks like, really, And I know that it is just a result of the way that smoke was billowing, but to me, that picture looks like "evil"....just like Satan. And this attack was evil!

I'm with the rest of you, I hope that this country will show its pride the right way, and not assume that every Arab immigrant is a terrorist. I, for one, have no predjudice...we need to wave our flags proudly, support our President and his staff, and pray, pray, pray, that only the ones who have caused this destruction are brought to their knees.

A group of neighbors were together and we commented on our Muslim neighbors. They have lived on our block for over 30 years. They have three grown sons, a doctor, a lawyer and an engineer. We all agreed that they were one of the nicest families we knew on our block and were always right there if you needed any help.

I thought that they should know what we had said about them. They just might need those thoughts about now. So I called and shared. The next day I got a call from them to say thank you for my call. The wife had gone to the doctor's office and as she sat in the waiting room a man said "I think we should round up all of those Muslims and kick them out of the country."
Can you imagine how that made her feel? She was born in Minnesota.


No, we don't know what Satan "looks" like, but I think we do know how he "sounds".

Gini, that was a nice thing that you did. There is good and bad in all Nationalities.
We have a Muslim who runs the little Neighborhood store here and on Sundays when our Grandson gets our Sunday paper for us he always asks where Grandpa is (Don) and how is he.

I was really disappointed in my Sunday school teacher and associate pastor - many times during class and the sermon both (our pastor is on vacation) he kept saying "these Muslims" instead of "these terrorists". I hope he was just so worked up that he didn't realize what he was saying. Then later, at lunch, one of my friends was making derogatory remarks, about many races and faiths (including the Tongans who had visited our church that morning). I don't understand this. I wondered if she would have been talking that way if Jesus had happened to join us for lunch! I'm white and Christian, but I have dated men who were black, I have dated men who were Asian, I have dated men who were Muslim, one of my closest friends is Asian Indian born and raised in Malaysia married to a black man, another one of my closest friends is black, I could go on and on. People are basically all the same (well, my Asian and Muslim friends had some weird ideas about women and their place in the world, but that's another post!). There's good and bad everywhere, but the overwhelming majority of people just want to make a living and love their families and friends. Evil is not evil becuase they are Muslim, Jew, Australian, Russian, male, female, earthling or martian. Evil is evil because of evil. Why can't we all just get along?
